The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll of a steep N-facing slope. Grass-covered D-shaped area (int. dims 20m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-4m) intermittently visible S-W-NE and backing (L 12m) on to the ravine (D 3m) of a S-N stream at E. The entrance (Wth 2.6m) is at N but there is no visible fosse.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
